Wear comfortable footwear if you want to go the distance, bring cash and ID, pace yourself and leave no Santa behind. We don't mess with children. We don't mess with police or security. We don't mess with bar staff. We don't mess with Santa.

We'll be working with venues and plotting a route for a day of HOHOHOing. We encourage gifting for those in need if you can - warm gloves, scarves and toques are always welcomed.

"Remember who you are.... "
First Vancouver SantaCon, 2000
- Report by NK Guy:
http://burningcam.com/santacon/
"On December 15 and 16 2000 the city of Vancouver became the first (as far as I know) Canadian and non-American city to host a full on Santa event. The tradition started in San Francisco in 1995 and has since spread like a red cheap-suited cancer across the United States. [...]
Santas converged on Vancouver from all over western North America. Calgary, Victoria, San Francisco (and the Bay Area generally), Portland, Seattle, LA. At its height at least 65-70 Santas were seen rampaging on the streets. This is Santa’s story."

The weather may be less delightful than hoped but a little rain won't stop Santa!

Hey All,
Any recommendations on where we can get Santa costumes from? (Other than Amazon) Thankyouuu

I work that day but if anyone is still out at 6:30 pm... I can find you!

Superstore has a sale on Santa hats. I'm at the Richmond store and they've got tons of them. They fit an adult Santa noggin.

I need a onesie!! I have no outfit 😅

Beard recommendations?
Santa's beard is looking a little haggard, any suggestions on where he could find a good one at a good price?

Can I get a HO?!
The one week countdown is on Santa!! Santa has a starting point at Toby's on Commercial Drive. Santa's got a small menu to help fill Santa's belly without overwhelming the kitchen. They're super excited to see us. We have the full upstairs reserved and overflow can go downstairs.
Santa will post the full route line up on the 16th because we know Santa loves surprises!!

Whoa!! Check out this "Desaturated Santa". Amazing costume.

Found this when I googled "Keep Santacon weird" I recognize Santa Corey's shiny red pants!

Oh deer!

Is the route the same as the other rogue santarchy group?

Santa is highly encouraged to tip well. Santa takes care of those who take care of Santa!
